Due to the document’s connection with America, we will analyse the differences in the definitions between the Peninsula and the continent, but also some other foreign words, like Arabisms, Gallicisms and Italianisms. Likewise, we will introduce a semantic classification of the lexicon, which will even demonstrate the recipient’s social level. Since many of the analysed words barely present examples in the consulted corpora, the manuscript has great value for the lexical field. ER -
